Hurricane Disaster Relief: Prince Willy Style

Be Prepared!
July 10th, 2008

Earlier this week we saw photos of Prince Harry’s trip to the South African kingdom of Lesotho where he and his Household Cavalry regiment have relocated in order to give aid to the rebuilding effort there … and today we have pics of Prince William taking part in a hurricane disaster relief exercise in the Caribbean. It’s not nearly as dirty nor does it seem to involve as much manual labor as Harry’s efforts in South Africa but at least Wills is doing his part to help save the world:


Prince William has taken part in a hurricane disaster exercise in the Caribbean, the Ministry of Defence said on Thursday. The Prince flew ashore by helicopter from the frigate HMS Iron Duke to Montserrat on Monday as the volcanic island tested the readiness of its emergency services should it be struck by a category five storm. “Sub-Lieutenant Wales has been involved in the planning from the outset, and that’s primarily in developing a plan and understanding of the nature of the infrastructure on Montserrat,” said HMS Iron Duke captain Commander Mark Newland. “What I’ve seen is his ability to integrate very quickly into teams, whether it be at the command level or the very low tactical level.” William is on a two-month attachment with the Royal Navy until August 1.

Yeah, nowhere near as sexy as Prince Harry’s efforts but still, Wills is taking part in something. I’m not really feeling this little uni he’s got goin’ on … it looks too clean, too untouched. I like that Harry has no problem getting all dirtyWills could use a little grit and grime to hawtten him up a bit, no?

    He has nothing on Price Harry! I guess he gets the thrown and Harry gets the looks. They both are winners, sort of:)!!

    Argh! “South African kingdom of Lesotho”???
    South Africa is one country, Lesotho is another. They are both in the southern part of Africa. Why oh why are Americans ALWAYS so ignorant about the rest of the world?

    William reminds me so much of his late great mother.

    I’m pretty sure they mean “South African” in the geographical sense, and not that Lesotho is a kingdom belonging to South Africa (the country).
